 Recently some guys from Microsoft came and showed
the
demo of some of their products, here @ MIT. They
also
started advertising that they will teach .NET course
for a very low fee. Also they r telling that they
will
provide CD's of some of their latest products for
students usage. 
 I think they might have heard of the linux based 
activities going on @ MIT, and so ...

  Even he (Microsoft) has managed to convince our
department[1] to include new elective courses on .NET
and C#.
  But the students are still not willing to take them,
as in general they liked to stay away from programming
(for scoring better marks) ;)
